Flower Pendants for Mom
by Cheryl Villareal on May 7th, 2011
They say jewelry is a woman's best friend. To a mom, jewelry is great but not necessary. However, handmade and personalized jewelry from the kids... now that's a lifetime treasure! Just moments ago, I shared a post on making THUMBPRINT HEART PENDANTS/NECKLACES. This is a perfect gift for mother's day or for any other occasion if you ask me! So, since we had so much fun making these, I decided to experiment a little. After our tutoria...Read More » Tags

Thumbprint Heart Pendants
by Cheryl Villareal on May 7th, 2011
Plaster of Paris has become my best friend! I just keep discovering things I can do with it! So since Mothers' Day is coming up, we decided to make some necklaces for mom! I'm sure there are a lot more easy ways to do this, but this was what we had, and I'm proud to say that it really worked out fine! Not only is this a unique activity for the kids, but it's something worth keeping forever! This makes me wish I had my own kid so he/she would make...Read More » Tags

Color Burst with Play Dough and Paint
by Cheryl Villareal on May 5th, 2011
Preschool teachers... I mean, preschool kids (*wink) always have so much fun mixing paint! There are different ways to mix paint and all can be done in such a way that is fun and exciting for the kids. You can always just simple mix the colors in a cup, but you can also try other alternatives such as using a ziploc bag! We did this recently and the kids really had so much fun mixing and mixing! This activity gave them the opportunity to feel the ...Read More » Tags

Painting with Floor Scrubs!
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 27th, 2011
Let's do some spring cleaning shall we? But instead of using water and soap, why not paint instead? A couple months ago, I passed by a shop wherein all items were sold for just 20 php (around 50 cents). Now as a preschool teacher, I just couldn't resist the urge to take a peek and dig through these items in hopes of finding something I could use for school! One of the items I came across were floor scrubs. I often see these sold in the groceri...Read More » Tags

Get Ready for The Greentennial Half Marathon
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 23rd, 2011
Last January, I joined the 1st Greentennial Run with a friend. For a new name in the running world, Greentennial sure did not disappoint me. It was a clean run with lots of activities to do afterward! Because of the success of this run, several runners asked if they could organize another run, and so they did. But just before they finished it, the tragedies in Japan happened which led them to organize a run for the benefit of the victi...Read More » Tags

Greentennial Run for Japan – because we care!
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 23rd, 2011
Just a month ago, Japan was hit with 3 calamities all in a few days time. First it was an 8.9 magnitude quake that rocked the country, and then it was followed by a massive tsunami that washed away hundreds and thousands of homes and buildings leaving several homeless, and if that wasn't enough, the nuclear reactors put each of their healths at stake as one after the other started to melt down. Truly, being in these situations and still surviving...Read More » Tags

Egg-shaped Chalks for Easter
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 21st, 2011
As a kid, I always had so much fun drawing on pavement. I don't know why but it's probably because of the unique texture of the pavement and the excitement of writing and drawing on something else other than paper. I also liked the chalk itself because of the same reason --> drawing and coloring using something else other than pencils and crayons. - While browsing for some unique activities for the Easter season, I came across this egg-s...Read More » Tags

Make Dreams Come True with “Eat, Pray, Run”
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 19th, 2011
While browsing my Facebook page one day, I noticed a photo wherein one of my friends was tagged. It was a photo of a little stick man drawn in the simplest form possible in black and white but with eyes shaped like a heart and in the color red. I wondered what it was and so I followed the link, that's when I came across the three words, "Eat, Pray, Run" - Strong words. I started analyzing the way I go by my everyday stuff. Eat (How coul...Read More » Tags

Painting Eggs with Food Coloring for Easter
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 17th, 2011
Easter is coming up in just a few days! I remember looking forward to this day because of the Easter Egg hunts! This week in class however, we let the kids try making their own egg salads (in line with our theme on food) and decorating their own eggs using food coloring! The activity turned out REALLY REALLY messy, but REALLY REALLY fun! Did I mention I ABSOLUTELY LOVE messy arts?? I feel these kinds of art activities are the ones that really giv...Read More » Tags
